What Is ACHIEVE
ACHIEVE (Action Communities for Health, Innovation and Environmental Change) Coalition is a group of multisectoral partners who have a collective vision of ending health inequities in chronic diseases for African-Americans and African immigrants/refugees in Multnomah County.
Their History
Since forming back in 2009, the coalition has advocated for the use of communication, policy, system and environmental (PSE) change strategies to improve health outcomes for the Black population of Multnomah County. They have worked to increase access to healthy foods, improve community design by connecting safe and accessible places for physical activity, offering tobacco cessation programming and breastfeeding support in the places people live, work, worship and study. ACHIEVE coalition accomplishments over the years include:
- Community policy and environmental assessments in over 60 community settings across jurisdictions
